Noise complaints

City police report investigating a pair of recent noise complaints.

The first came in late Wednesday evening in the 300 block of Carrie. Officers arrived to find the residence was relatively quiet but followed up with those inside. The guests were encouraged to leave for the night and the residents agreed to keep a lid on any additional noise allowing police to close the books on this incident.

The second complaint arose in the 2500 block of Ashmun shortly before 4 a.m. today. Police arrived to hear loud music and announced their presence while knocking on the door. The music was immediately turned down, but no one ever came to the door to speak with officers regarding this matter.
